Resolving The Problem

What is an LSF Cluster?
A group of computers (hosts) running LSF that work together as a single unit, combining computing power and sharing workload and resources. A cluster provides a single-system image for disparate computing resources.

Hosts can be grouped into clusters in a number of ways. A cluster could contain:

  • All the hosts in a single administrative group
  • All the hosts on one file server or sub-network
  • Hosts that perform similar functions
Commands
  • lshosts--View static resource information about hosts in the cluster
  • bhosts--View resource and job information about server hosts in the cluster
  • lsid--View the cluster name
  • lsclusters--View cluster status and size
Configuration
  • Define hosts in your cluster in lsf.cluster.cluster_name


The name of your cluster should be unique. It should not be the same as any host or queue.
